### 4/5 — Nice!

*2025-04-19*

I’m an aspiring new DM and just found this gem. I love it!! Would love to see a treasure/treasure hoard generators!

### 5/5 — I stand by this

*2025-03-24*

I love that there is no in-app purchases(aside with a kofi but slay), no subscripted needed for all the full features, the massive utilities at my disposal I can use, and the lack of ads.

The best part is that you can make a generator if none of the already available ones fit your needs. This has made me doing Root TTRPG and Homebrew so much easier to do names or even species. 

I fully stand by this and hope they release more apps

### 5/5 — Very useful and fun!

*2024-06-12*

I’m running my first campaign right now and still feeling out what works best for me in terms of prep and world building but this app is insanely useful for the way I like to build things out. The name generators are great but even beyond that the other generators help make shops quickly and give great ideas for locations and events that can then be expanded on. 

I think something that could be great to see in the future is an option to make folders for saved items. This would make it nice for building larger locations with everything you need in that area all in one place, but even without that kind of organization option the app is great and I’m exciting to keep using it!

### 5/5 — Simple coding yet excellent effect

*2024-03-10*

A wide variety of topics with a good database from which it draws. The single thing I’d love seeing added is a way to add specific things to the database from which it draws (for example, adding the general item of “tinderbox” which can then be in mundane items or enchanted items), but that’s exceptionally wishful thinking on my part for a free app. This does what it says it does and does it very well.

### 1/5 — This would be a great app except for one issue.

*2024-03-02*

Not every section will save to your favorites. 
What’s the point if it doesn’t save everything?

Some of the sections do save the data to your favorites, but the app is not worth using currently.  There are many other random generators that actually work. I would find something else to use.

**Developer response:** Hey there! Thanks for giving RPGen a try - do you happen to remember what sections weren't saving? I would love to fix this for you! Please feel free to email me at rpgen.app@gmail.com

### 4/5 — Great app

*2024-02-29*

Very useful generator and easy to navigate. One issue I ran into was that the event scenarios I favorited didn’t preserve the details of the event only the location. Such as “Town Event” or “Desert Event.” Unfortunate, but nothing a simple screenshot wont fix.

**Developer response:** Hey there, thank you for your very specific bug report! This will be at the top of my list to fix soon 💜

### 5/5 — AMAZING!

*2024-02-13, version 1.0*

I don’t usually leave reviews but this has been so helpful in running my first D&D campaign. Players decide to go to a random town I don’t have the time or skill to plan off the cuff yet? No bother just throw it in there.

### 5/5 — MUST HAVE FOR DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS!🙌👍

*2023-12-01*

I have used this app for a few months now and I have one thing to say: WOW. Just, WOW! This is the BEST app for DnD that I have found on the App Store! It has dice, character names, events ideas, encounters, npcs, and much more! Not a fan of D&D? I use this app ALL THE TIME for writing stories! It gives you good ideas and names! Thank you for making this app! I love that it is free! Thx for reading my review!

### 5/5 — New to DnD

*2023-11-23*

I'm new to DnD but Tom to create a world for an older nephew that really wants to play again. This has been a tremendous amount of help in world building... and I'm actually feeling confident that it will help me in the adventure itself. Thank you so much for an amazing app!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-11-01*

This app is amazing and very detailed. Great work!!
